I couldn't find any convenience methods to convert rospy.Time to datetime.datetime. Timezones and other issues make this less trivial than it appears, especially for novice users.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this a textbook case of "nope, not done yet, please submit a patch?"
Thanks!
datetime.datetime to rospy.Time:
import datetime
import rospy
dt0 = datetime.datetime.strptime('2018-03-26-14:38:02.012345', '%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S.%f').replace(tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
rt0 = rospy.Time.from_sec(dt0.timestamp())
rospy.Time to datetime.datetime and back:
dt1 = datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(rt0.to_sec())
rt1 = rospy.Time.from_sec(dt1.replace(tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).timestamp())

I would say this is indeed something that just hasn't been done yet. Shouldn't be too difficult though:
rospy.Timeis a Unix stamp, so conversions should be againstUTC, correct?
